SPC : not working after some updates

[magthe]

After some updates I see this when pressing SPC ::

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "no such file or directory" "helm-command")
  autoload-do-load((autoload "helm-command" "Preconfigured `helm' for Emacs commands.\nIt is `helm' replacement of regular `M-x' `execute-extended-command'.\n\nUnlike regular `M-x' emacs vanilla `execute-extended-command' command,\nthe prefix args if needed, are passed AFTER starting `helm-M-x'.\n\nYou can get help on each command by persistent action.\n\n(fn ARG &optional COMMAND-NAME)" t nil) helm-M-x)
  command-execute(helm-M-x)

It would be nice to have it fixed so I can use restart-emacs when upgrading.

I think this is the case where helm is updated and by default if there's update to the package it's directory is deleted and replaced with the upgraded one. This will also come up if restart-emacs get updated where you won't be able to use it.
I don't know of a solution, so it'd be nice if someone can suggest a solution.

Well, SPC q r continues to work, I'm guessing that's good enough :)

Actually what we could do is delete packages on startup, before anything else. Rather than before restarting.

I actually have the same error. @magthe Did you get to resolve it? It gives me "Cannot open load file: no such file or directory, helm-command" error as well. Also, in the org-mode, if I try t in org-mode, it executes evil-find-char-to, instead of org-todo. I am not sure if two are related, so I will open an issue for the latter problem.

Actually, nevermind. Restarting emacs solved the problem. It started installing packages, but it's odd since I have already restarted it several times before. Oh well.

Closing this issue in favour of #6583.
